This interactive workshop explores how generative AI can be integrated into health professions education to enhance, rather than hinder, critical thinking and deep learning. Participants will examine both the opportunities and risks of using AI tools in teaching and learning, with a focus on strategies that prevent passive engagement. Through guided discussion and collaborative activities, educators will develop practical approaches and resources to help their students critically appraise AI outputs and use them effectively in their learning. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and tools that can be immediately applied in their own educational contexts.

This event is open to all UVM Larner College of Medicine faculty, staff, and students at all teaching sites in the University of Vermont Health Network and the Clinical Branch Campus/Nuvance Health in Connecticut.
